LILLIAN SLUTCHUK 1923 - 2018 Lil was the youngest of the six children of Jacob and Rebecca Slutchuk. She is survived by her sisters, Marian Solomon and Lorraine Bass, her nephew, Jack Craven, and nieces, Roberta Hurtig, Ricki Goltzman, Nancy Corey and Adrienne Nolan. Lil was generous with her limited income, donating to many charities because she believed that they needed her help. She was generous with her time. Knitting was a favourite pastime. She knitted winter wear for family members and participated in drives to knit winter wear for those in need. Lil enjoyed befriending others and was an active member of the Stay Young Club at the Rady Centre and the Gwen Sector Centre for Creative Living. Attending programs and socializing with her friends was very important to her. She lived with her sister, Marian, at the Simkin Centre for two and half years. As long as she was able, she looked out for Marian's welfare on a daily, if not hourly basis. The staff at the Simkin Centre noted her devotion to Marian. She also assisted other residents when needed. The family thanks the staff of the Simkin Centre for their care of Lillian. We also thank Jimena Bejasa, Lil's companion in her last months for her care. A graveside service was held at the Hebrew Sick Cemetery on January 18, 2018. Rabbi Y. Benarroch officiated. Pallbearers were Jack Craven, Sean Slutchuk, Jack Hurtig, Jason Palansky, and Alexander Weinstein.
